Elektronik Konşimentoya Geçiş Engellerinin Değerlendirilmesinde Bulanık AHP Uygulaması

Abstract

Teknolojideki gelişmeler, son yıllarda geleneksel kâğıt tabanlı konşimentoyu elektronik konşimento (eBL) formatına dönüştürmüştür. Bu bağlamda, deniz taşımacılığı endüstrisinde farklı eBL sistemleri tanıtılmış ve giderek daha fazla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda bazı büyük denizyolu konteyner hatları son dönemde müşterilerine eBL hizmetlerini deklare etmeye başlamışlardır. Ancak, eBL sistemlerini kullanan herhangi bir Türkiye menşeili denizyolu konteyner taşıma hattına rastlanmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, Türkiye'deki denizyolu konteyner nakliye hatlarını göz önüne alarak, bu çalışma Türkiye'de eBL sistemlerine geçiş engellerini açıklamaya çalışmaktadır. Engeller, literatür taraması yoluyla ortaya çıkarılmış ve endüstri uzmanları tarafından onaylanmıştır. Daha sonra önemlerini nicel olarak önceliklendirmek için Fuzzy-AHP yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Ana engeller arasında yasal engelin en önemli bariyer olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.

Application of Fuzzy AHP for Assessment of Transitional Barriers to Electronic Bill of Lading

Abstract

Advances in technology have converted the traditional paper-based bill of lading into an electronic bill of lading (eBL) format in recent years. In this regard, different eBL systems have been introduced and are increasingly being employed in the maritime transportation industry. In line with this, some major container shipping lines have started to declare their eBL services to their customers recently. However, it has been observed that there have not been come across any Türkiye origin container shipping lines to utilize eBL systems. Therefore, considering container shipping lines of Türkiye, this paper sought to disclose the barriers to the transition of eBL systems in Türkiye. The barriers have been revealed through literature review and confirmed by industrial experts. Following that Fuzzy-AHP method was performed to prioritize their importance quantitatively. It was revealed that the legal barrier among the main barriers appeared as the most important barrier.
